Any website on our shared servers that uses a high amount of server resources (CPU, memory usage, and network resources) will be given an option to pay for a dedicated server. The abuse and misuse of system resources is a serious problem, and NepalLink does not tolerate it. Accounts on a shared server must be shared with other users, so we must limit how much of the CPU and memory that can be used by any one account.
In all fairness, we cannot allow one or two clients to use all of the system resources on a shared machine and have all other clients suffer because of it. Excessive CPU & memory usage by one or more clients causes extreme slowness in all areas: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Email, HTTP and more. If the CPU & memory usage by a few clients gets out of hand, all sites hosted on the machine will return errors and not be accessible in any way.
AVERAGE SERVER RESOURCE LIMITS Memory usage may not exceed 10% per domain/file/application CPU usage may not exceed 20% per domain/file/application Apache connections may not exceed 30 connections 15 MySQL maximum user connections allowed 300 emails per day, per domain
There are special exceptions to these rules to be determined at the time we discover abuse. There are different combinations of usage that can create problems and other special cases. At any given time a server is unstable and an account is found to be the cause, we reserve the right to suspend the account to keep the server online and operating normally. If the usage is an increasing trend, we recommend the user invest in a dedicated server so the website can grow at a normal rate without restriction.
NepalLink believes in the freedom of hosting. We do allow our users to run Free Hosting sites, though for having lots abuses and resources delegation NepalLink reserves the rights to set a limit over an account if abuse department approves the account as a “FREE HOSTING PROVIDER”. Usually for a free hosting provider a 20 domains limit is eligible if and only if the provider is a TLD Free domain hosting provider, if the provider is a subdomain hosting (FREE) then the limit is set to 10 domains usually. We do not block free hosting services like other hosting providers though, for abuse and resource limitation on a premium server this policy is applied.
